Chapter 96: Challenge

The data of 222 inexplicably showed garbled characters for a few tenths of a second.

222, having stabilized, quickly shut up, lest the host actually catch it for research. As for whether it could be caught, this small system subconsciously ignored it.

After the lecture, Professor Wu led them out of the lecture hall. He suddenly asked, "Su Yi, what are your thoughts on today's lecture?"

Su was stunned. Was he preparing to test her?

Wu Yiyang probably knew what his father meant, so he didn't interrupt. Instead, he gave Su Yi a look that said "don't be afraid".

"Einstein's theory of relativity is divided into general relativity and special relativity. I'm personally more interested in general relativity. I've read relevant materials before, and I think general relativity is more like a theory of gravity..."

Professor Wu asked some questions from time to time, and Su Yi occasionally had some questions that she couldn't answer. After all, her mind had been on mathematics recently, and she had neglected her research in physics.

Even so, Professor Wu was very satisfied.

The little girl in front of him was only fifteen years old, and some of the views and insights she put forward were beyond the imagination of even the graduate students in the physics department. He couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for her talent.

"Are you planning to consider the Department of Physics at University A? Perhaps you and Professor Wu could become alumni there." Professor Wu asked with a smile.

"I want to take physics as a minor." Su Yi said a little embarrassedly.

Professor Wu chuckled. "Sure, just follow your own ideas. If my son had half as much ambition as you, I'd be satisfied."

"...Dad, I'm still here." Wu Yiyang spoke up to remind himself of his presence.

"Teacher Wu is very good. It is thanks to Teacher Wu that I was able to get started with physics." Su Yi said quickly.

"What contribution could he make? He just went home to show off." Professor Wu glanced at Wu Yiyang.

Wu Yiyang was helpless, so he decided to just shut up.

Su Yi was a little embarrassed.

In the next few days, Su Yi and Wu Yiyang became more and more familiar with each other, and finally they no longer addressed each other as teacher and student, but simply called each other "Brother Yiyang".

However, despite all the precautions, they were still found by people from Country R.

That day, Wu Yiyang took Su Yi away from the lecture early and prepared to check in at an Internet-famous restaurant, but just as they walked into the hotel lobby, a voice with an accent called her.

"Gu Suyi?"

Su was stunned and stopped.

Soon, a foreign teenager approached her.

Wu Yiyang narrowed his eyes slightly and took a step forward.

The young man stood two steps away from the two of them, then looked at Su Yi: "You are Gu Su Yi, right?"

He spoke Chinese not very fluently and stared at Su Yi.

"It's me." Su Yi, who was recognized, didn't want to deny it.

The boy switched to English, his voice much more pleasant. "My name is 'Hanyu Nohara', I'm from Country R, and I'm a competitor in this year's IMO. I listened to all the points you made in your lecture."

Su Yi understood, it seemed that he was here to issue a challenge.

"Is there anything wrong?" Su Yi also looked at him, not wanting to be outdone.

"You proposed in your lecture that there's another way to prove the Poincare conjecture. I've also researched that, but always failed. I hope you can actually solve it," Hanyuhara said gravely. "I also hope to compete with you at this year's IMO competition."

"You will know soon whether I can solve it or not. Don't worry, I will definitely participate in IMO, and I have already secured the championship." Su Yi also replied.

Hanyu Nohara frowned. "You Chinese have a saying, 'Humility makes people progress, pride makes people fall behind.' Aren't you being too arrogant?"

Su Yi smiled generously and replied in the same way: "We in China have a saying, 'It is impolite not to reciprocate'. Since I dare to say this, I naturally have confidence. When the time comes, we will have a good competition. I hope you won't let me down."

Hanyuhara looked at her deeply, then nodded slightly and turned away.

After everyone left, Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Yiyang looked at her with amusement: "What's the matter, are you scared?"

"A little bit." Su Yi did not deny it, but urged him, "Let's go quickly, maybe we will run into someone later."

Wu Yiyang found it very funny.

After getting to know this girl, I found that she was not as quiet and calm as she usually appeared. On the contrary, she was actually quite spoiled, but she rarely showed it.

Fortunately, until the end of the exchange meeting, the people from Country R did not appear in front of her again, and their entry papers also made good progress. The selection committee of the Holtz Mathematics Award seemed to know about this and even sent them an email before the first round of screening results were announced.

Obviously, he was looking forward to another proof of the Poincare conjecture proposed by Su Yi.

Because Professor Zhang Yuan was busy, he entrusted her to Wu Yiyang and Professor Wu, and they happened to go back to S Province together.

After getting off the plane, Wu Yiyang offered to take her home, and Su Yi said a little embarrassedly: "Chen Yanting is here to pick me up."

"Chen Yanting?" Professor Wu raised his eyebrows slightly. "I haven't seen him for a while."

Su Yi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Professor Wu, do you know Shen Yanting?"

"Strictly speaking, Xiao Tingzi has to call me 'uncle' and call my dad 'grandfather'." Wu Yiyang curled his lips.

Su Yi: ???
